Fortnite Battle Royale

Epic Games are doing such a fantastic job on keeping their game updated, just as how the whole community wants to see it. It appears that this update brings further improvements on different levels, and we’re yet to discover the beauty behind 3.1.0.

It’s been a couple of since Epic Games released Fortnite 3.0.0 update, which improved building and made it a lot simpler for the players. As every following patch, there’s always something new to cheer about, and this time is nonetheless.

First of all, Epic Games has shown how much they care about their community. We have a sad story concerning a disabled guy not being able to play Fortnite because of birth defection. Sadly, he’s missing a part of his arm since his birth, but he likes playing Fortnite. Until patch 3.1.0, Epic Games had disabled two inputs in their video game, for which using gamepad and mouse at the same time was not allowed.

After his appearance on Reddit’s thread, Epic Games has decided to answer his question within an update, for which now allows two inputs at the same time. The guy, as well as the whole community, is thrilled now, and Epic Games has proved once more they care for their players. This is pure humanity, and we hope that every other developer will follow Epic Games’ move.

Furthermore, Epic Games has added a new localization and improved the frame rates by tweaking the view distance rendering, making it grab fewer CPU resources, for which players shall experience smoother gameplay. New Hunting rifle has been added to the game, and we’re eager to discover its power.

Below you can find the full 3.1.0 patch notes, but keep in that below listed are only Battle Royale changes and not Save the World:

WEAPONS + ITEMS

  • Hunting Rifle added!
    • Single shot rifle that has no scope and is effective at medium to long range.
    • Uncommon and Rare rarity.
    • Found in Treasure Chests and Floor Loot.
  • Adjusted inconsistent drop rates for various weapon rarities.
    • Burst Assault Rifle drop chance:
      • Common decreased by 20%.
      • Uncommon increased by 60%.
      • Rare increased by 150%.
    • Revolver drop chance:
      • Common decreased by 10%.
      • Uncommon increased by 33%.
      • Rare increased by 75%.
    • Tactical Shotgun drop chance:
      • Uncommon decreased by 10%.
      • Rare increased by 33%.
      • Epic increased by 75%.
    • These weapons had unnecessarily low drop rates as they progressed in rarity. This does not change the overall likelihood of finding these weapon types but it does increase your chances of finding a higher rarity version. – Developer Comment

  • Fixed an issue where building placement sound would play repeatedly while skydiving if you had the Pickaxe equipped in the lobby.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the lobby music to restart every time it was attenuated to 0 volume because of music from emotes.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Storm Audio to play from an invalid location in the map.
  • The build mode ‘click’ sound no longer plays while the player is downed.
